I'd be more okay with Johnny moving on if I thought we'd re-coup some assets and go for a mini rebuild/retool. But this franchise just doesn't do that unless punched in the face with a team that can no longer compete (Iginla trade era).
We would 100% flail around with a bubble team. Signing mediocre, middling bull**** free agents that decide they'll sign here because we're willing to pay more for not being a desired landing spot.
